Personal injury claims are legal disputes that arise when someone suffers harm from an accident or injury, and someone else might be legally responsible for that harm. If you’ve been injured in an accident caused by someone else, or if you lost a loved one in a fatal accident due to another’s actions, you may have grounds to pursue a claim.
Personal injury claims are unique matters, but there are several key steps in every case:
Victims in personal injury cases are entitled to various damages to compensate for their losses. The primary types of recoverable damages include:
Accidents and injuries can have a range of repercussions, which is why no two cases are exactly alike. If you have questions about the value of your potential Decatur personal injury claim or the damages to which you may be entitled, our attorneys can help during a personalized consultation.
The statute of limitations is a legal deadline that dictates how long you have to file a lawsuit from the date of your injury or the discovery of your injury. If you fail to file within this period, you may lose your right to pursue a legal claim, regardless of the merits of your case.
In Georgia, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally two years from the date of the injury. This applies to most types of injury claims, including car accidents and slip and falls. There are some exceptions and specific situations that may alter this timeframe:
Bringing your case to the attention of a lawyer as soon as possible is the best way to determine the statute of limitations that applies to your case and ensure you have ample time to investigate, build your claim, and preserve your right to recover compensation. Our attorneys are readily available to help by offering free consultations over the phone, in person, or via video chat.
You have the right to seek compensation for losses incurred due to someone else’s negligence. This includes medical expenses, lost wages, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. Our firm can guide you through understanding and asserting your rights.
Georgia’s wrongful death laws allow certain family members to file claims when an accident results in death. Eligible parties include the deceased’s spouse, children, or parents. We help families navigate the process to secure compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional distress.
Our firm operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. We only collect fees if we successfully recover compensation for you, ensuring access to quality legal representation without financial risk.
Yes, under Georgia’s modified comparative negligence rule, you can recover compensation if you are not more than 50% at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. We help determine your level of fault and fight for the maximum possible compensation.
